Overabundance of cats at Cause For Critters
The Cause for Critters Animal Rescue Society (CFCARS) says they are over capacity with cats and have had to turn away over a dozen in the past few weeks.
Shelter Manager Debra Coward says the shelter has received calls from as far away as Spruce Grove and Edmonton with people asking if they could take their pets as shelters across the province struggle with being full.
In the past three weeks the shelter has had to turn away 16 people with Coward adding they simply don’t have enough room to house all the felines due to being over their maximum of 30.
“We haven’t been able to help because we’ve been overrun,” says Coward with a big increase in cats coming in combined with an increase in dealing with animal control pushing their capacity sky high.
